American I grew up in northern Ohio, I'm currently 24. I have written these poems mostly when I was younger, I hope you enjoy them. I've learned I have kind of an odd style compared to others. I hope to get back into writing soon.
Scarcity of phrase, Once regarded in adoration, Takes another phase, Undergoing a transformation. And hence, Negligence.

Negligence
This wound I keep tonguing, To keep from healing, Refuses to fade Because of my endless efforts. But why would I do such a thing?

Metaphor for a Reality
You make my stomach churn. And not in a good way. When you pry me open with your yearning eyes, Your yearning eyes that burn through my flesh, That tear away violently at everything that is me, And leave me a hollow shell of being, Separate from all you believe me to be. Left to feel the blame, and lifeless. Guilt to wash over me Like crashing black waves. I wish not to possess your heart, I shove it away. I am not the girl you think I am. I am not the girl you think I am.

You're so vain, I bet you think this poem is about you... It is.
I’m belly-side up, Vulnerable. Naked, without guard. And I hand you the blade, To carve out my heart.

Belly-side Up
On the factory line, I am a product of society. Manufactured by design, Structured by a nation of notoriety.

Made In America
Your love is endless, And renders me senseless, Leaving me breathless, Destroys my defenses, Expelling pretenses.

Your Love Is Endless
The ladder, The one I’m forced to climb. A lack of friction, I seem to find, As I take the rung into my fingers. And the vertigo sensation lingers. I know my lesson, Why should I persist? Brace my feet, step up, and Slip. The question: Should I give up And fall regardless? Or continue And say I tried this? With this knowledge, then, What good is The latter?

The Ladder Choice
You speak with discretion. I attempt a reply, Struck by apprehension. Sitting in anticipation, Awaiting the revelation, Of your outright lie.

Conversation Between Distanced Lovers
The blacktop stings the palms of my hands and burns my fingertips. My legs feel the crunch of gravel beneath them. I spit blood. Warm and metallic. Somehow I manage to rise to my feet. My knees are in shock. They quake profusely. I stare at you, astounded. The sun lights your face. A warm smile appears there. A sharp blow to the stomach. Back down. Pain shoots up my spine. My head throbs. With each beat, I hear your name. Again, I crawl from my knees to my feet. Desperation. And again, you strike me down. Repeat the process. Repeat the process. Repeat the process.

Repeat The Process
With a potent kiss, Delve into the depths of my jaded heart and lose yourself in me, Burrow and latch yourself inside. Synchronize with the remains of my mortal being. Surge through a mess of broken veins and arteries, Interfere with the synapses in my brain and dizzy my fragmented mind. Send me dancing through a euphoria of vertigo. Become a part of me, with a potent kiss.
